Abstract

The invention relates to a connection arrangement for connecting a busbar ( 40 ) to a housing ( 10 ) for electrical components ( 30 ), comprising the busbar ( 40 ) and at least one wall ( 11 ) of the housing ( 10 ) and at least one electrically insulating element ( 50 ), characterized in that the connection arrangement ( 20 ) has at least one fastening element ( 60; 61 A; 62 ) for preferably detachable connection to the wall ( 11 ) of the housing ( 10 ) and the at least one electrically insulating element ( 50 ) is formed from a material having good thermal conductivity.

Claims (15)

1. A connection arrangement for connecting a busbar ( 40 ) to a housing ( 10 ) for electrical components ( 30 ), comprising the busbar ( 40 ) and at least one wall ( 11 ) of the housing ( 10 ) and at least one electrically insulating element ( 50 ), wherein the connection arrangement ( 20 ) has at least one fastening element ( 60 ; 61 A; 62 ) for connection to the wall ( 11 ) of the housing ( 10 ), and the at least one electrically insulating element ( 50 ) is made of a material that has good thermal conductivity, of more than 1.5 W/(m·K)

characterized in that the connection arrangement ( 20 ) has at least two fastening elements ( 60 ; 61 A; 62 ), wherein a first fastening element ( 61 A) connects the busbar ( 40 ) and the electrically insulating element ( 50 ) to one another, and a second fastening element ( 62 ) connects the electrically insulating element ( 50 ) to the wall ( 11 ) of the housing ( 10 ).

2. The connection arrangement as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that an electrical component ( 30 ) can be simultaneously fastened, with the busbar ( 40 ), to the wall ( 11 ) of the housing ( 10 ).

3. The connection arrangement as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that the connection arrangement ( 20 ) has at least one through-going fastening element ( 60 ; 61 A) for connecting the busbar ( 40 ), the electrically insulating element ( 50 ) and the wall ( 11 ) of the housing ( 10 ).

4. The connection arrangement as claimed claim 1 , characterized in that the connection arrangement ( 20 ) comprises a screw, a threaded rod, a rivet or a clamping bolt as a fastening element ( 60 ).

5. The connection arrangement as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that the connection arrangement ( 20 ) comprises a nut, a threaded sleeve or a press bushing.

6. The connection arrangement as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that the connection arrangement ( 20 ) comprises an adhesive bond ( 90 ).

7. The connection arrangement as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that the connection arrangement ( 20 ) has at least one metal element ( 80 ) that can be connected to the electrically insulating element ( 50 ).

8. The connection arrangement as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that the electrically insulating element ( 50 ) is formed by a plastic block or a plastic disk or a ceramic plate.

9. The connection arrangement as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that the electrically insulating element ( 50 ) is realized as a sleeve ( 54 ) that insulates the busbar ( 40 ) from the fastening element ( 60 ).

10. The connection arrangement as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that the electrically insulating element ( 50 ) is simultaneously realized as a fastening element ( 62 ).

11. The connection arrangement as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that the electrically insulating element ( 50 ) is fixedly arranged, as at least one layer, on the busbar ( 40 ).

12. The connection arrangement as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that the wall ( 11 ) of the housing ( 10 ) is realized as a cooling plate.

13. The connection arrangement as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that the connection arrangement ( 20 ) has at least one element ( 54 ; 61 B) that allows compensation of thermal expansion of the busbar ( 40 ).

14. The connection arrangement as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that realized on an inner side ( 12 ) of the wall ( 11 ) there is at least one blind hole ( 13 ) for fastening the connection arrangement ( 20 ) to the housing ( 10 ).
